# std::shared_future<T>::get

From cppreference.com
< cpp‎ | thread‎ | shared future

Main template |  |
const T& get() const; | (1) | (since C++11)
std::shared_future<T&> specializations |  |
T& get() const; | (2) | (since C++11)
std::shared_future<void> specialization |  |
void get() const; | (3) | (since C++11)

The `get` member function waits (by calling wait()) until the shared state is ready, then retrieves the value stored in the shared state (if any).

If valid() is false before the call to this function, the behavior is undefined.

### Return value

1) A const reference to the value stored in the shared state. The behavior of accessing the value through this reference after the shared state has been destroyed is undefined.
2) The reference stored as value in the shared state.
3) (none)

### Exceptions

If an exception was stored in the shared state referenced by the future (e.g. via a call to `std::promise::set_exception()`) then that exception will be thrown.

### Notes

The C++ standard recommends the implementations to detect the case when valid() is false before the call and throw a std::future_error with an error condition of std::future_errc::no_state.
